Add Irvine’s OctoTech Inc. to the growing ranks of chipmakers in Orange County.
Formed in 2016, the fabless semiconductor company makes a variety of radio frequency integrated circuits products geared toward Internet of Things and 5G uses.
It recently announced the availability of five new RFIC products; the RF front-end ICs “are perfectly suited” for IoT applications like sensor nodes, mesh networked elements, and gateways that increase wireless range with less power consumption, it said.
The products use low-cost silicon wafers and processes yet achieve performance and power efficiencies that compete with costlier offerings, the company said.
The offerings will “distinguish OctoTech as not just another IoT RF front-end, but rather one with innovative designs to enable our customers implement cutting edge solutions that will differentiate them in the market,” Chief Executive Edward Han said.
The company has five job openings, according to its website.
